Figuer: Hanlon,Naud,and Their Colleagues Analyzed DNA Among Mating Males and Fertilized

Figuer:
Hanlon,Naud,and their colleagues analyzed DNA among mating males and fertilized eggs of Sepia apama cuttlefish,after mating had been observed.Examine their results in this figure.Which conclusion is supported by these results?

A) Mimicry of females by smaller males does not result in any successful production of fertilized eggs.
B) Guarding females for more than 40 minutes prevents females from sorting and fertilizing sperm and eggs before the eggs die.
C) Smaller males that mimic females are more successful in producing fertilized eggs.
D) There is no reproductive value for a male to guard the female for less than 20 minutes.
E) A male guarding a female 20 to 40 minutes from subsequent mating attempts of other males is the most successful behavior.
